    Brighton & Hove buses ripping people off with price rises

    It's called an Integrated Transport Policy. The alternative is to expand the amount of parking available in the city centre - and there simply isn't enough spare land to do that.

    Brighton & Hove buses ripping people off with price rises

    If B&H Buses had got things wrong, Brighton and Hove would have seen a significant decline in bus ridership, like pretty much everywhere else in the country, outside London. But that's not been the case. The number of passengers using buses in Brighton has DOUBLED in recent years.

    Brighton & Hove buses ripping people off with price rises

    When I worked for the Council as a public transport planner - years and years ago - we devised a pilot scheme in partnership with the bus company, to encourage people using buses to Mile Oak to pay in advance, rather than slow boarding times by having everyone queue to pay with cash. It worked...

    Nationalise Port Talbot?

    Huge chunks of the UK rail industry and the UK electricity industry are state owned. It's just that the state that owns these chunks of UK industry isn't the UK.

    Northern Ireland

    I never said that the prospect of terrorism has completely disappeared. What I am claiming is that the old guard has got too old to be active and that any threat will come from a younger generation that is, for the most part, being actively discouraged from going down that path. The peace...

    Ok, I'll add to my list of people to worry about and include anyone who thinks that revenge killings are a sensible way forward.

    Northern Ireland

    I reckon that any sit down today with any of the aged and retired murderers from both sides of the conflict would quickly reach a consensus that the peace process was worth sticking with. The people to worry about are the kids and the young men in their twenties who might easily be distracted...

    Northern Ireland

    Is there ANY support in Northern Ireland for an outcome that would involve self-government from Belfast, without any relationship with either London or Dublin? Or am I misunderstanding your point?

    Line of Duty

    Indeed. Am I right in thinking that the questions that perseus is asking - what did Waldron do? / who did what to Waldron? / will they catch the guilty parties? - are all irrelevant? This is surely a series about how corruption works, not a conventional crime and detection show.

    I Newspaper Fan Previews

    Back in the days when the Albion were at Withdean and were playing in the Championship, after each home game, Lady B used to contribute a hundred or so words to the Observer. They paid her to do this. Does money change hands these days?

    The Belgium bombing - An interesting perspective

    Simon Jenkins is right. Making a big deal about the imminent threat from more expected attacks simply feeds the terrorists' wish to terrify everyone. It tells everyone that they are beating us. It never used to be like that. When Brighton was bombed by the IRA, what did we do? We went to...
